About this listen

Do the Spanish still take siesta? How long is it supposed to last? What are its origins?

In this episode of the Hispanophiles Podcast, we're grabbing a pillow and talking everything Siesta - the famous Spanish tradition of grabbing some shut eye for 20 minutes in the middle of the day. Contrary to popular belief, the Siesta is a core institution of traditional family and town life all around the country. The pressures of the modern world and the demands of a globalised economy are threatening one of the greatest Spanish traditions of them all! But as the hidden health costs of an under rested population accumulate, is the world ready for a resurgence of the Siesta?

Thank you very much for listening and we hope you enjoy the episode!
